Wow almost 9 years old, but I hadn't seen this before so thanks for posting.

Socks are always a good stocking stuffer. Also candy, bathroom products, cards, etc.

 

Albertsons will no longer be merging with Kroger, and is instead suing them for not doing enough to get regulatory approval.

Carplay does indeed work once you plug the phone into the car. But, it doesn't seem to support the "carplay home screen" where you see the map in one half and your music in the other. It always boots me back to google maps there, which is annoying and will probably prevent me from using this in the car much. The car icon also moves in frames at a time, is often behind where I am, and the voice assistant's voice sounds very outdated and unpleasant. Hopefully it gets better over time.

 

I wasn't sure the best community on slrpnk to post this; but this one seemed pretty applicable.

This hasn't happened to me but probably because my computer doesn't support Windows 11 (it doesn't support TPM)

Macs also make you put your password in all the time for updates, installs, etc. Laymen seem to use macs just fine

That's fair. So you don't think people should have the choice?

It just seems like it's antithetical to all the reasons we made weed legal. People are going to do it anyways, might as well make it regulated and collect tax on it. I don't smoke tobacco but I just think making it illegal won't change anything. Let people make their own decisions, you know?

Legalizing weed but banning tobacco makes no sense to me. I hope this doesn't pass.

 

For all people born after January 1, 2000.

Seems to be mainly because Bluesky is just a better user experience.

Changes in terms of service regarding AI (artificial intelligence), changes in the block feature and the presence of so many bot-like ‘impression zombie’ accounts are viewed negatively by Japanese users

But, X is still incredibly important in Japan and Bluesky isnt a serious threat to it culturally right now.

X is still a major, major news source for Japanese users, so it really won't slow down anytime soon. Newer platforms like Threads or Bluesky really don't have any meaningful adoption or use for brand marketing in Japan — yet

I actually have not plugged it into the car yet. I thought I remembered apps showing up in the carplay settings immediately after downloading, but maybe that's not the case. I'll report back after I've tried.

 

Hi everyone. I recently downloaded Organic Maps and am interested in trying it out as an alternative to Google Maps. However, when I went into my CarPlay settings in my phone to put the app in a good location, it is not listed. I did some googling and it seems like Organic Maps should support CarPlay. Just checking for confirmation on that. Thanks!

Many data centres use water-based systems to cool the plant with towers evaporating the heat, like a huge perspiration system, which means that the water is lost. It also has to be drinking quality because impurities can damage the servers.

If anyone was curious like me.

Wow that bug sounds wicked annoying. Sorry about that. I love uncharted 4. Since you're playing on crushing I assume you've already played it? I want to replay sometime soon. I haven't since it came out actually; I played twice in a row but haven't since. My main gripe with it (the most probably think of as a positive) is that there aren't enough combat encounters.
